The Corn Hill Neighborhood Association has announced the return of the Emerging Artists Expo for the 57th Annual Corn Hill Arts Festival, taking place July 12 and 13 in Rochester. Presented by MVP Health Care, the Expo will once again offer new artists an invaluable platform to showcase their talents.
Now in its 15th year, the Emerging Artists Expo will provide selected participants with complimentary 10’x10’ booth spaces, including tents, access to a central payment station, and promotional support leading up to and during the event. Set against the scenic backdrop of Eagle Street, the Expo invites festivalgoers to discover one-of-a-kind works and support the next generation of local talent.
“The Emerging Artists Expo is all about championing fresh talent and creating space for new artists to shine,” said Andie Kopf, Chair of the 2025 Corn Hill Arts Festival. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the creativity and passion these artists bring to the festival—and to watch their confidence grow as they connect with thousands of visitors.”
During the two-day event, a panel of judges will evaluate each artist’s work and booth presentation, awarding honors for creativity, craftsmanship, and overall impact. Artists will also receive constructive feedback designed to encourage their professional growth.
Applications for the 2025 Emerging Artists Expo are open through June 7, with accepted artists to be notified by June 14. More information and applications are available at www.cornhillartsfestival.com/emergingartists.
